Mon éducation (The Exemplary Death of Marcus Licinius Crassus), Aurélien Gamboni. "The installation stages the "exemplary" death of Roman general Crassus during his military campaign in Mesopotamia. According to the myth, the Parthians poured molten gold down his throat to punish him for his greed, a legend which is translated here as a peculiar sculpture: a golden digestive system, operating both as an improbable historical artefact and as a sarcastic commentary about art fetishism. In the background of this vanity stands a series of grotesque chewing-gum drawings on wood, giving threats, insults, warnings and bad omens, in the style of a Roman theater chorus.
Marcus Licinius Crassus stands in history as one of the most despised public figures of his time. Owner of a considerable wealth amassed in dubious conditions, and victor of the slave revolt led by Spartacus in 71 B.C., he later took part – with Caesar and Pompey – in the first triumvirat which precipitated the end of the Roman Republic."

Markiplier not partnering with Honey because he didn't understand how its business model was profitable with how much it spent on advertising demonstrates a level of thoughtfulness that seems absent in a lot of youtubers.
January was a tough year but we made it
LMAO!!!!! they already hung up an elon doll upside down in the same exact place where mussolini was made a salami back in 1945

An Oppressed People Is Always Right (1974) by Nils Vest. Made in collaboration with the Palestine Cinema Institute (watch)
btw the palestinian children’s relief fund is currently running a fundraiser & is more than halfway to their goal of $10,000 !
here’s a link for anyone who is willing & able to donate, please share so it can reach more people, especially as the weather grows colder & these children are desperately lacking resources.
(at $5,314 / $10,000 as of December 1)
*Takes you by the shoulders* I ADORE character profiles and character trivia and likes and dislikes sections. I love knowing this ruthless, heartless, cruel man of a character has a childish dislike for mandarin oranges. I believe in the inherent beauty of all characters, no matter the background or moral stance, being made fundamentally human by assigning them insignificant culinary preferences. I stand by the supremacy of humanizing villains by giving them relatable tastes and trivial interests and ordinary hobbies. I treasure the hidden reminders that everyone is inherently human even when everything else we know about a character might suggest the contrary.

[ID: a screenshot from the website Queering The Map, with a pinpoint in Palestine. The pinpoint reads “i am trans, and i am Palestinian. i will not chose between my country and my queerness and i will not let colonisers erase one half of me so the other can be free. allah's love is for all”]
refraining from a lot of election joke posting and instead I just donated $55 USD to gaza soup kitchen and i encourage anyone else to consider donating even a couple of dollars to the people who will be affected the most from whatever outcome happens
you can also donate to care for gaza here

great question. while a lot of these gofundmes started to fund evacuations, since the border will not open they have shifted to covering the costs of daily survival in gaza
the cost of food alone in gaza right now has been reported by journalists on the ground (including @siraj2024) to be 20 times the normal price.
and it varies based on location. the north is currently being starved by the IOF so food prices are higher
and there is a lot of evidence on tumblr that proves that these fundraisers do help
@ma7moudgaza2 was able to buy a tent for his family and is currently trying to pay for a solar panel
@siraj2024 was able to secure rent for a (bombed out, but still) apartment for his family over the winter
@mohdiwais was able to fund medical care for his sister after she was shot by the IOF using funds he raised on tumblr
a gaza-based charity called care for gaza has also been directly assisting families with funds used from their gofundme. they even post videos of themselves giving out food
and those are just a few examples. hope this helped!
*doom music starts to play* I actually kindof like scheduling these kinds of appointments now...
but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu
this has been a psa
mussolini upside down was such a rare italian slay they really hung him up like a prosciutto

i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom
